To those of you who have amarok and kipi-plugins installed. I want to know whether this problem is a build problem or a downstream packaging problem.

Please check the HTML links for the non-English directories. For example,

/usr/share/doc/HTML/pl/amarok

There will be a sym link to common. Is the link good or broken?

On my system the link points to:

/usr/share/doc/HTML/pl/common

I believe the link should point to:

/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/amarok/common.

The problem is in the make files and is a remnant from KDE. In KDE I long ago noticed this problem with several apps: amarok, kipi-plugins, k3b, kpowersave, and kmplayer.

I created a diff patch to the make files. I don't pretend to understand automake, but after I apply the patch all is well until the build script runs make to build the files. Something in the make process overwrites the patches or restores the original make files. I never have seen that before.

Any ideas why the patch won't hold when running make?

You need to change the Makefile.am files, as the Makefile.in and final Makefile files are generated from Makefile.am.

At this point the only solution I have is to apply a post-make patch.

If anybody is interested I'm attaching the patch to the make files.

I'll watch other apps as I create Trinity build scripts.

Definitely a paper cut bug.
